Cavaliers fall to first-ranked Duke

By Jeremy Williams | January 28, 2002

DURHAM, NC - After scoring only ten field goals in the first half, the Duke Blue Devils used a 17-6 run to open the second half and put the Virginia men's basketball team away for good. A first half that seemed to preview a nail-biter turned out to be a tease, as the Blue Devils (18-1, 6-1 ACC) picked it up in the second half to beat the Cavaliers (14-3, 4-3), 94-81 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. In the first half, Virginia stayed tight behind the efforts of its freshmen.

Murphy's Law, meet the

Virginia must execute from the perimeter to bust the zone

By Paul Crane | January 21, 2002

F or real estate enthusiasts, the key to a superior sale is acknowl- edged as "Location, location, location." For teams trying to stop the Cavaliers' offense recently, it's been more like "Zone, zone, zone." Because of Virginia players' ability to break down man-to-man defenses with their driving abilities (Chris Williams, Adam Hall, Keith Jenifer) or strong inside game (Travis Watson) opponents have grown fond of playing a zone defense and daring Virginia to shoot the outside shot. In the Cavaliers' two losses this season, they were unable to connect from three-point range against the zone.
